A global approach to health equity requires the use of innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial approaches to increase access to healthcare and economic wellbeing for those most in need. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to focus on economic disparities of health worldwide in order to achieve a global economic recovery. Social work and global health play a key role in supporting this economic rebuilding through research, practice, and policy development focused on community engagement. Social work models of engagement can both cultivate interest and build collective resources that directly address inequities in community health. Presented by the Center for Innovation in Social Work & Health (CISWH) at BU School of Social Work, this hybrid event will highlight examples of innovative global models that address both economic and health disparities utilizing the valuable engagement tools of social work. Attendees may choose to join the event in person at BU or online. Online attendees will receive Zoom join information by email following registration.
